#3 Nations of people can easily be lead into allowing all kinds of evil. Germany, Japan, and Italy just prior to WWII. The Hollocaust, invading and pilforing, murder, rape of neighbor nations.

The power that Kings and Presidents have over its people in leading them over the cliff by convencing them that "in the name of social good of the peoples" that stealing the wealth of other peoples and the murder of other people is justified is absolutely amazing.

#4 "France's ex-Budget Minister Jerome Cahuzac has been charged with fraud over a secret Swiss bank account.

Mr Cahuzac admitted last week that he had hidden about 600,000 euros (£509,000; $770,000) in a Swiss bank account, causing ~~absolutely no~~ shock ~~in France~~ anywhere".

Strange how these pols are always so far behind the curve, or....are they really ahead of the curve, and playing dumb because they reckon the populace is dumb?

No mattet, cigars all round!

#5 One more step to OWG. There will be no place that is free from the omnipont, omniscient tax man.

Any small country that wants to have a free banking system will be bought off from the top down.

#6 More central government is always the answer.

In that way, the EU is a weird reflection of the Ummah, which believes that more Islam is always the answer.

#9 We'll see more and more of this panic as the world economy stagnates and declines as countries age and don't have enough workers to support the system.

#10 Amusingly the more of the world that commits marxist economic suicide, the more benefit one of them breaking ranks and being a Galt's Gulch becomes.

Bring it on.
